Book Synopsis

Walk This Way: The Autobiography of Aerosmith is available in time for the Aerosmith's 40th Anniversary. It's the New York Times bestselling autobiography by the legendary rock group that lived by the motto "Anything worth doing was worth overdoing." Aerosmith shook the music world out of its '70s doldrums...and made living on the edge an art form. Walk This Way is the complete and candid story of their meteoric rise to fame, their near destruction due to drugs and excess, and their return to the stage as one of America's greatest rock bands. Cowritten by respected rock journalist Stephen Davis, author of the seminal profile of Led Zeppelin, Hammer of the Gods, and with a new afterward from the band, this edition of the memoir to end all rock memoirs is the perfect gift for you and your favorite Aerosmith fan.

From the Back Cover

With a new postscript celebrating forty years of Aerosmith

From the great American band--Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Brad Whitford, and Joey Kramer--that lived by the motto "Anything worth doing is worth overdoing" comes the story of rock godhood: the life, the music, the truth, the hell, the lost years, and the raunchy sex. And, of course, the drugs.

Hang on, it's a hell of a ride!

Review Quotes

"These boys could write the book on bad behavior and they have. Walk This Way is a story of excess and endurance, chronicling in sometimes lurid detail the rise and fall and comeback of Boston's hometown band." - USA Today
"Anyone intrigued by the rise of hard rock or by the manic excesses of the '70s scene will find a treasure trove of raw data here." - Rolling Stone
"Very engaging ... The book is about a legendary group that soars, crashes and rises from the ashes. But it never drags us down with preaching ... Fans will revel in the details." - Chicago Sun-Times
